The start of a new year. What do you want to happen this year? What will make this year amazing?
You need to create a list, but wait – you aren’t ready yet.
Most of us look back as a new year arrives, noticing all the things that didn’t go so well. And true, 2009 had plenty of those. But before you start on your bodacious plan for 2010, you need to get your mind in the right place.
First list what went right in 2009? List all the great things that happened. Consider everything. My list went on for nearly two pages when I focused on the good things. (Know that you have to fight with the Debbie Downer voices in your head that will want to dwell on the misses instead of the hits). Get that list on paper. Stop. Celebrate. Get excited because you’ll need that energy to get to your next list.
Next list the bodacious things you want to happen in 2010. What would make 2010 extraordinary? At this point, you are only brainstorming so put down all the things you want to have happen. If you do not record them, you will not focus on them.
Now list the three or four things on your list above that you commit to making happen. Big, bold, bodacious.
Life is not a dress rehearsal. Get out there and create what you want in 2010. Make 2010 the year you work strong and live stronger.
bold new year, great 2010, Make things happen, resolutions, work strong live stronger
